Q: Synching zune on a Mac with mountain lion

I Have a 120 gig zune with downloaded WMA audio books using my Windows 7 PC,no issues. How do I use my Zune on my macbook using mountain lion as the USB plug in is not recognized as a drive on my Macbook. I do use Overdrive software for my library downloading program and have Overdrive as well on my Macbook. I tried using wp7 program and there is still no recognition of my zune as a drive either in my desktop or in my hard drive folder? I do not wish to partition my hard drive for both op systems.

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), Microsoft Zune 120 gid MP3 player

Zune was discontinued by Microsoft a while back, you may have to download the zune software (PC only) and copy the audiobooks. WMA is not natively supported by Mac and the files will need to be re-encoded using third party software to play on your Mac, you can also download VLC http://www.videolan.org to allow you to natively play Audio Books. However, if you plan on putting them on an iDevice and playing them natively through the Music app, the files will need to be re-encoded. Tunesify is a good program for this and they also offer a lite version.
